The original PowerMac G5/Mac Pro is still, to me, one of the most beautiful machines Apple has ever made. The machine itself may be of limited use these days, but a British designer has found a cool new use for the case …
The designer, who goes by the initials GTO, turned two of them into a bench by adding a slab of American Black Walnut. Having made one for himself, friends asked him to make others for them, and he’s now offering them for sale.
Each bench is made to order, the lead time is currently 6 weeks. This is to ensure we can source G5 cases in the best possible condition. Please note, the G5 Mac Pro 1st Generation was last produced in 2012, we endeavour to find immaculate models, however there may be small signs of wear present.
The price is rather eye-watering, at £1,995 ($2,555) – with shipping and import taxes extra for US orders. They do, though, look beautifully made.
